80cm / 32” length and spare needle for joining provisional and live stitches

Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Notions: 4 stitch markers (including one unique
for beginning of round), scrap yarn, 4cm / 1 1⁄2” wide elastic band, sewing needle or sewing machine, sewing thread, 2 cable needles (for Italian cast-off), tapestry needle

Notes: Giverny is worked in 2x2 Rib from the top down, starting with a provisional cast-on at the waist. An elastic band is sewn inside the knitted waistband before closing it by removing the provisional cast-on and knitting together the live stitches and the provisional ones. Short rows raise the back of the skirt; increases gradually widen the skirt at the hips before decreasing slightly for a tighter fit. The body of the skirt is knitted straight before splitting at the middle back for comfort and ease of movement. The hem is finished with an Italian/tubular cast-off. Sewing a small tag or thread on the inside of the skirt will make it easier to identify the back when wearing.
